There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades

Joe Flynn@chinajoeflynn.bsky.social

3. That college is about reading for “the workforce.” No, it’s about development for the adult force. Of which work is a part. 4/

Optimist: The cup is half full Pessimist: The cup is half empty Truvy: Cuppa cuppa cuppa? You don't even need to write it down: just mix a cup of flour, a cup of sugar, and a cup of fruit cocktail with its juice, then mix and bake at 350 til gold and bubbly.
